NAME

       bputa - BP-based CFDP UT-layer adapter

SYNOPSIS

       bputa

DESCRIPTION

       bputa is a background "daemon" task that sends and receives CFDP PDUs encapsulated in DTN bundles.

       The task is spawned automatically by cfdpadmin in response to the 's' command that starts operation of the CFDP protocol; the text of the
       command that is used to spawn the task must be provided as a parameter to the 's' command.  The link service input task is terminated by
       cfdpadmin in response to an 'x' (STOP) command.

EXIT STATUS

       0   bputa terminated normally, for reasons noted in the ion.log file.  If this termination was not commanded, investigate and solve the
	   problem identified in the log file and use cfdpadmin to restart bputa.

       1   bputa terminated abnormally, for reasons noted in the ion.log file.	Investigate and solve the problem identified in the log file, then
	   use cfdpadmin to restart bputa.

FILES

       No configuration files are needed.

ENVIRONMENT

       No environment variables apply.
